Duster having two dusting heads

ABSTRACT

A duster, including a first dusting assembly, including a first handle, and a first head disposed at an end portion of the first handle, a second dusting assembly, including a second handle, and a second head disposed at an end portion of the second handle, and a joint to connect a center portion of the first handle to a center portion of the second handle.

BACKGROUND 1. Field

The present general inventive concept relates generally to a duster, and specifically, to a duster having two dusting heads.

2. Description of the Related Art

For most individuals, dusting can be a tedious task many try to avoid. Currently, on the market, there are dusting products that exist to simply remove dust but are limited by their single dusting head.

Therefore, there is a need for a device that reduces an amount of time it takes a person to dust.

There is also a need for a device that allows a person to dust two surfaces simultaneously.

SUMMARY

The present general inventive concept provides a duster having two dusting heads.

Additional features and utilities of the present general inventive concept will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the general inventive concept.

The foregoing and/or other features and utilities of the present general inventive concept may be achieved by providing a duster, including a first dusting assembly, including a first handle, and a first head disposed at an end portion of the first handle, a second dusting assembly, including a second handle, and a second head disposed at an end portion of the second handle, and a joint to connect a center portion of the first handle to a center portion of the second handle.

The joint may allow the first handle and the second handle to move with respect to each other in a scissor-like motion.

The first head and the second head may each include a plurality of fibers.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

These and/or other features and utilities of the present generally inventive concept will become apparent and more readily appreciated from the following description of the embodiments, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of which:

FIG. 1 illustrates a duster, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present general inventive concept.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Various example embodiments (a.k.a., exemplary embodiments) will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings in which some example embodiments are illustrated. In the FIGURES, the thicknesses of lines, layers and/or regions may be exaggerated for clarity.

Accordingly, while example embodiments are capable of various modifications and alternative forms, embodiments thereof are shown by way of example in the figures and will herein be described in detail. It should be understood, however, that there is no intent to limit example embodiments to the particular forms disclosed, but on the contrary, example embodiments are to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the scope of the disclosure. Like numbers refer to like/similar elements throughout the detailed description.

It is understood that when an element is referred to as being “connected” or “coupled” to another element, it can be directly connected or coupled to the other element or intervening elements may be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directly connected” or “directly coupled” to another element, there are no intervening elements present. Other words used to describe the relationship between elements should be interpreted in a like fashion (e.g., “between” versus “directly between,” “adjacent” versus “directly adjacent,” etc.).

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of example embodiments. As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “includes” and/or “including,” when used herein, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components and/or groups thereof.

Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which example embodiments belong. It will be further understood that terms, e.g., those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art. However, should the present disclosure give a specific meaning to a term deviating from a meaning commonly understood by one of ordinary skill, this meaning is to be taken into account in the specific context this definition is given herein.

FIG. 1 illustrates a duster 10, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present general inventive concept.

The duster 10 may include a first dusting assembly 11 and a second dusting assembly 12.

The first dusting assembly 11 may include a first handle 13 and a first duster head 15.

The first handle 13 may be constructed from wood, metal, rubber, or any other material known to one of ordinary skill in the art.

The first duster head 15 may be disposed at an end portion of the first handle 13, and may be constructed from a plurality of fibers, feathers, threads, or any other material known to one of ordinary skill in the art that may remove dust from a surface.

The second dusting assembly 12 may include a second handle 14 and a second duster head 16.

The second handle 14 may be constructed from wood, metal, rubber, or any other material known to one of ordinary skill in the art.

The second duster head 16 may be disposed at an end portion of the second handle 14, and may be constructed from a plurality of fibers, feathers, threads, or any other material known to one of ordinary skill in the art that may remove dust from a surface.

The first handle 13 may be connected to the second handle 14 by a joint 17 disposed at a center portion of the first handle 13 and another center portion of the second handle 14, which allows the first handle 13 and the second handle 14 to move in a scissor-like motion.

The joint 17 may be any type of joint that binds the first handle 13 to the second handle 14, while allowing the first handle 13 to move with respect to the second handle 14. For example, the joint 17 may include a circular portion with a pin the a center of the circular portion.

As such, the duster 10 may easily and simultaneously clean two sides of a surface, such as a bottom and a top of a table.

Although a few embodiments of the present general inventive concept have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes may be made in these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the general inventive concept, the scope of which is defined in the appended claims and their equivalents. 

1. A duster, comprising: a first dusting assembly, comprising: a first handle, and a first head disposed at an end portion of the first handle; a second dusting assembly, comprising: a second handle, and a second head disposed at an end portion of the second handle; and a joint to connect a center portion of the first handle to a center portion of the second handle.
 2. The duster of claim 1, wherein the joint allows the first handle and the second handle to move with respect to each other in a scissor-like motion.
 3. The duster of claim 1, wherein the first head and the second head each comprise a plurality of fibers.
